SAVING OURSELVES FROM
BIG CAR

“David Obst reveals how Big Car captured economies, governments, and even our imaginations to reshape how we get around, the places we live, and our social and civic lives―and the often dire consequences for our health, our safety, our relationships, and our living planet. Obst illuminates the great sweep of this century-long story, and brings it to vivid life by introducing us to some of the characters who devised our current predicament and to the people crafting humane alternatives to Big Car.”

“David Obst’s book reveals a hard truth: the dream of car ownership has blinded us to better options―options we’ve been systematically denied.”

“Obst’s book describes one of the most significant causes of human illness and death while being touted as the best solution for living freely. His book has set fire to a fuse that should ignite readers’ feelings of pure dread and fury about what ‘Big Car’ has done to us. The demise of our species may be hiding in plain sight.”
